Fractional CFO Services

Clarity of the Past.
Control of the Future.

Real-time financial clarity for salon and spa owners — without the full-time CFO price tag.

Who We Serve

We only do salons.
That focus is your advantage.

Commission splits, booth rent, retail-vs-service, chair-level P&L — we don't translate generic CFO advice into salon language. We already live in it. Every client we serve runs a salon, spa, or blow-dry bar.

✂️

We speak salon

Commission, hourly, and booth-rent pay models. Retail-vs-service margins. Tip handling. We read your P&L the way you run your floor.

💺

Chair-level economics

Profitability per stylist, per chair, per location — so you know which seats and services actually pay, and which ones quietly don't.

📅

Built on your POS

We pull from the tools you already run — your salon POS (Phorest, Meevo) and QuickBooks — and turn raw transactions into numbers you can act on.

📈

The metrics that matter

Rebooking rate, retail attach, average ticket, new-guest retention, service-vs-retail mix. The salon KPIs that move the business — tracked daily.

🏷️

Retail as a real revenue line

Most salons leave money on the shelf. We treat product as a second P&L — inventory, attach rates, and margin — not an afterthought.

🏛️

One chair to many doors

From a single studio to a multi-location group, our clients span the range. The model scales with you — location-level P&L from day one.

Three pillars of
financial clarity.

Every engagement includes our full CFO stack — not a cherry-picked menu of services.

How It Works

Built around your business,
not a template.

Every engagement is scoped to your business — your size, your complexity, your goals. No packages, no tiers. Just the right level of support.

📞

1. Strategy Call

We start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, your pain points, and what financial clarity would actually unlock for you.

🎯

2. Custom Scope

We build an engagement scoped specifically to your needs — no bloated packages, no paying for things you don't need.

🚀

3. We Get to Work

Onboarding takes less than a week. By month two, you have clean financials, a live KPI dashboard, and a 13-week cash forecast.
